N. Korea says at war with South

North Korea announced Saturday that it had entered a "state of war" with South Korea and would deal with every inter-Korean issue accordingly.

"As of now, inter-Korea relations enter a state of war and all matters between the two Koreas will be handled according to wartime protocol," the
North said in a joint statement attributed to all government bodies and institutions.

They always do this and depending on what President we have at the time, sometimes they win. They certainly did under Clinton who chose to have a
negotiating attitude as opposed to Bush who refused to talk to them.

Either way, they only speak like that to try and get concessions, they aren't serious about doing anything.

n the midst of a flare-up of tensions in the Korean peninsula, China on Friday adopted a 'hands off' approach to the crisis, suggesting that
it would not directly intervene to restrain Pyongyang.

"Peace and stability of Korean peninsula as well as northeast Asia serves common interest and requires common effort of all parties," the Chinese
foreign ministry said. "We call on all relevant parties to make joint efforts to turn around the tense situation," it said taking some analysts by
surprise as China is the only major power with a strong influence over North Korea.

I certainly can say I haven't seen this much in the way of rhetoric from North Korea before. Also, South Korea may act if they see North Korea
putting fuel in their missiles.

The war was ended in armistice... not peace. Un declared the armistice over... and when no one crapped
themselves, he had to say I MEAN WAAAR!!! Ill tell you this though, Ihave never heard them be this persistent... and Seoul is taking it seriously. I
doubt we'd see an all out war... but who knows.

As a long time watcher of the news I can say with certainty THIS has not happened before. NK says its at war with SK I personally think things are
about to go hot. This may also be at the behest of China. The sides are forming up the world over for global war. Economies are collapsing, currency
wars are beginning. This region may just be the one to set it all off.

I can also tell you that China controls the North Koreans, They would not have a country if it were not for them.

China wants and needs to draw the U.S. and Japan away from Taiwan so they can attack them and the surrounding islands.

China has already moved missiles and manpower to the coast of Taiwan. They feel the time is right, yet they need a distraction.

The Other Major distraction is Russia and Iran attacking Israel. Russia gave orders for its whole Black Sea fleet to sail under the cover of an
exercise, they pulled the same thing when they attacked Georgia.

Sadly since the Iraq BS we cant strike first. We will have to wait and many will die.

This is now beyond the stage when we can joke about this. I really hope this does not end in full scale global nuclear war. I for one fear for the
civilians on both sides of the fence North and South. If Un does press the button or invade South Korea then many people are going to die. I also
fear that there could well be sleeper agents in US cities that could do acts of sabatage ie unleash a WMD and cause huge damage, it does not have to
be nuclear, it could be biological or chemical.

I think the UN should call an emergency UN Security Council meeting NOW. This has to be sorted out. And if need be use UN troops to go in and take out
the little brat and the elite military commanders.
